Britney Spears' residency gig in Vegas is getting close to a done deal.

Citing a source close to the situation, People.com said the 31-year-old singer in "advanced talks with Planet Hollywood" for a residency," despite earlier reports that she wouldn't perform there because of hypnotist Marshall Silver's residency in March.

Maybe they could do a show together and Britney could get hypnotized to do crazy things onstage.

People close to Spears, who split up with Jason Trawick last month, are reportedly thrilled at her upcoming gig. Even her new puppy Hannah was stoked. He tweeted late Sunday, "Mommy, are dogs allowed to gamble in vegas? Gonna cash all my bones in for chips."

According to People.com. Spears later tweeted in response, "I don't think so honey," followed by the hashtag VivaLasVegas.
